This paper describes fabrication and characterization results of piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (pMUTs) based on 2-mu m-thick Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47O3) (PZT) thin films. The applied structures are circular plates held at four bridges, thus par ...
We present in this paper experimental results obtained at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing (ICLRT), Camp Blanding, Florida, where currents induced by triggered and natural lightning events were measured at one end of a shielded b ...
We develop SOFC based on a NiO–YSZ anode support, a thin YSZ layer (5–10 micron) and a LaSrMnO3 cathode. Mn and Ni can dissolve into thin zirconia during high temperature fabrication. On cells, we consistently measured higher ohmic losses than expected fro ...
The impact of the bootstrap current is investigated on the equilibrium properties of a two-period quasi-axisymmetric stellarator reactor with free boundary and on the corresponding ideal magnetohydrodynamic stability properties. Although the magnetic field ...
The index n of the voltage-current characteristic of large superconductors is a crucial parameter to assess the allowed range for coil operation. In the tests of the Insert coils at the CSMC as well as in the short sample test in the SULTAN facility, it is ...
Lightning-induced voltages in power and communication systems are nowadays one of the main causes of power quality and electromagnetic compatibility. In recent years, due to the increasing demand by customers for good quality in the power supply along with ...
This set-up is particularly simple and makes possible the use of a flexible cable that may be plugged to the instrument using connectors for easy field applications. Measurements of AC and DC currents are demonstrated. ...
The attention of the fusion magnet specialists has been drawn in the last years to the volt-ampere characteristic (VAC) of the large cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC), as early voltage was observed in conductor and model coil tests, far away from the expe ...
Three subsize NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors have been tested in SULTAN test facility. The conductors are identical in the cable layout but they are different in transverse resistance: either SnAg strand coating without wraps, or Ni strand coating withou ...
Plasma inhomogeneity caused by standing-wave effects in rf parallel plate reactors can be removed if one of the electrodes is replaced by a shaped electrode. The proposed shape is calculated using Maxwell's equations in vacuum. In this solution, the electr ...
